We are delighted with the pictures Teresa took of us and our baby. We love the natural style – just what we were after! Teresa was friendly and helpful from start to finish. She made quite an effort to make our baby smile and it was very cute. Here are some of the best shots that we loved. I recommend her to anyone who is looking for candid photos.

Details: Family or children's portrait • Candid (captured in the moment) • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Outdoors • Digital or online download • My home, venue, etc.

Teresa did a fantastic job taking photos of our engagement. She was extremely responsive and helpful throughout the process offering advice on how to best capture the actual moment of the proposal. It was reassuring having a professional like Teresa to partner with on the logistics of the engagement - I knew I would be in good hands when the day came/things would go smoothly! After the proposal, she made us feel very comfortable during the photo shoot which allowed for us to really enjoy the moment and also translated into great pictures. She took a ton of pictures from different angles/with different poses. We were thrilled with the final product which she promptly delivered to us. We highly recommend Teresa for any project, she really did an amazing job!

Teresa is wonderful! I worked with her for secret engagement photos and couldn't have been more pleased. From the early planning, to meeting up the weekend prior for a "dress rehearsal," to the day of, she was a total pro and a total friend. I recommend Teresa highly for your central coast engagement or wedding photo needs!

Teresa was a pleasure to work with for our family photo shoot needs in SLO! She was very professional, contacted me right away to discuss my vision and scheduling needs, and provided numerous high quality images at a fair price. I would definitely book another shoot with her in the future. My family and I had a lot of fun with Teresa; she keeps you laughing while making sure the photos turn out well :) highly recommend working with Teresa for your photography needs.
